Description

“…It began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else, desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race.

But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master ring, to control all others.
And into this Ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all…”

This is how Gandalf introduces us to the game, The Battle for Middle earth by EA Games.

It’s a new RTS game that is closely related to the movies, which in turn are based on the wonderful books from JRR Tolkien.

The characters in the game reflect the likeness of the characters in the movies.

With this game you can bring the battle to life on your computer screen and try to affect the outcome of it.
